The Lost City course, which opened in 1993, is very
flexible; playing off the forward tee a course length of 5 953 meters,
extending to 6 983 meters off the back tee. Thecourse provides spectacular views; from the 11th
tee, 1 230 meters above sea level, players can see 15 holes, including
the 6th, 58 meters below.

The unusual water hazard is just one of the features
that make The Lost City Golf Course exciting and interesting to play.
No effort was spared to make the course a
masterpiece.

The Lost City Golf Course is "spectator friendly",
comfortably accommodating 100 000 spectators at a time. The spectator
mounds at the 9th and 18th greens provide agood view of the action for a gallery of between
12 000 and 15 000 people seated on the grass.

Gary-Player-Golf
Course

The Gary Player Golf Course, is acknowledged as a
difficult and demanding course. Since 1979 it has been the venue for
the Nedbank Million Dollar Golf Challenge, oneof the richest and most exclusive events on the international
golfing calendar. It requires stamina and accuracy from players; the
full 6 938 metre course is undoubtedlythe
toughest on the subcontinent.

Like
most southern Africa links, the Gary Player Golf Course uses Kikuyu
grass on the tees, fairways and semi-roughs. Golfers from elsewhere
have to adjust theirtechnique to suit the
surface. The Cape Bermuda grass of The Lost City Golf Course is much
finer and provides a smoother ball roll.
